- the name of the city where the friend lives;
- Street name;
- House number;
- apartment number;
- postcode.
To write a letter to a friend, you need to buy an envelope at a bookstore or post office.
Ask your friend for the address, namely:
and also find out your postal address from your parents and fill out an envelope according to this sample:
Take a notebook sheet and first of all write a greeting to your friend.
For example: Hello Kolya!
Write to Kolya what you would like to tell him.
For example: I received your letter today or I looked at the photos today .... and decided to write to you, etc.
Not much to write about my life.
For example: today I went for a walk with my friends ...., with my parents to the park, circus and ....., they bought me a cat, a dog ....., i.e. write events that you would like to share with a friend.
The next sentence will be convenient to ask Kolya: How are you? How is study? and a couple of questions about Kolya's hobbies.
After the questions, end the letter with the following sentence: Waiting for your answer and write Goodbye or See you.
And write the date of the letter and your name.
You can also attach a small drawing or postcard to the letter.
In my opinion, a letter can begin with a greeting, then describe your life and the interesting things that happened in it in Lately. And finally, ask a friend about his life and news.
For example, you can write a letter like this:
Hello, dear friend Yura. Summer in the village is very fun. My grandmother has a cow and every day I drink warm milk. And yet they don’t have chickens, Petya the cockerel and two cats: Matvey and Vasily. There is a river not far from my grandmother's house and I go swimming every day. I have made a lot of new friends here, we play catch-up, hide-and-seek and war games. And recently, grandfather Timofey and I went fishing and I caught a hefty carp. Also, my parents bought me a new bike and I often ride on the field road. True, I fell down once, but I will be more careful in the future.
And how are you? What do you do in your free time?
Write do not forget. Bye. Your best friend, Ruslan.
We wrote letters at school according to the following plan:
First the date and return address, then a sentence with a greeting. Next, a description of something that you want to tell your friend, you can write about anything about the weather, about the upcoming holiday or about school, if the topic is not specified. Then we ask our friend our questions and say goodbye. We sign at the end.
To write a letter to a friend, you will need to remember some incident or adventure that happened to you in the recent past and follow some rules for writing a letter. Firstly appeal. Start your letter with a greeting and greet your friend the way you normally do in life. Then main part. This is what you want to talk about in the letter. AND final part. Make a conclusion, ask a question that interests you to a friend and say goodbye. Remember, there are no rules when writing a letter to a friend. You can write about whatever comes to mind first.
A letter to a friend should be written in free form, allowing for an abundance of exclamation marks. Start with a greeting, then describe your last news, finish with questions to the reader, that is, your friend. At the end, write your wishes. For example:
Hi Lesha!!!
How long have I not seen you! I miss you - what a passion! Everything is fine with me, for a quarter of more than one triple, can you imagine ?! My parents gave me a dog! How I dreamed about her for a long time ... He called Barbos. He is so good and obedient! Come and see him, let's play football.
Write, see you soon, looking forward to our meeting!
If you need to write a letter to a friend, then here you need to write about friendship, about mutual assistance. Remember, before we often wrote letters to our acquaintances and friends in other cities?
First I invented beautiful greeting. Further, I remember writing to my friend about the weather, about why I am happy, about how I miss personal communication with her, about what worries me, about what I am going to do in the near future. She also asked how she was doing, what worries her, how she lives and what the weather is like in her city. At the end, I always conveyed my regards to her parents, wrote that I really looked forward to letters from her and said goodbye beautifully.
A letter to a friend should be written easily, as if writing a letter without thinking about the plot. Then check and if anything, rewrite the inaccuracies, where the break in thought turned out.
You can remember a little funny story and tell a friend in a letter how you overslept for a lesson and had to lie that you got stuck in the elevator, and the next day you really got stuck, only the teacher didn’t believe it anymore and therefore it turns out that the truth always becomes known. Here we recall the famous hero Denisk Korablev, how he poured semolina porridge out the window and thought that no one would know, but it turned out like you did with the elevator.
Write the truth, but like a real writer, embellish your story a little.
Yes, about anything. I don’t know just in what style — Hello, Kolka! or Hello, Nicholas.
The task itself is strange, because now children communicate with all their friends via the Internet - social networks, instant messengers, and so on.
As an example. Sand down where you want.
Well, you can also add that they say add me as a friend on Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, Skype.
It is not so important what the student writes about. It is much more important to follow the rules for writing a letter: indicate the addressee, greeting, farewell. You can write about everything: choose any case and simply state it in a competent language.
Hello Anton. It's been half a year since you moved to another city. A lot has changed in the class since you left. Three new students have joined our class since September 1st. Two girls and one boy. One girl does ballet, the other goes to music school. But the main acquisition of our class is Sergey, he plays football very well. So now our team has become stronger. Next time you come, we will definitely play together.
And recently, our class was sick, even in the hospital. We visited her with the whole class. After 2 weeks, she was cured and allowed to return to work.
At the beginning of September, there was a "Exercise with a Star" at the school. She was led by an Olympic champion. And the basketball court on the street was repaired, the backboards and rings were painted.
Come back soon, we miss you guys.
Letter to a friend - composition (impression)
Hello Mishka! I am extremely glad that you passed all the exams with excellent marks and that you will spend your summer holidays in a health camp. Everything is fine with me: I still make music, perform at competitions and concerts.
I can't wait to tell you how my classmates and I visited the city amusement park yesterday. It attracts with its extreme rides, sports grounds and green spaces. The square is designed for visitors who want to actively spend time and “tickle their nerves”.
More recently, a high-rise, rope complex “Len to Stump” was opened there. This is a unique combination of difficult obstacles at height. A ropeway with barriers of various difficulty levels is stretched along the trees.
First, we were given protective gear. Professional instructors brought us up to date and monitored compliance with all safety rules.
At the start, I was seized with anxiety, and I was tormented by doubts - can I really not resist and be the first to leave the race? But I pulled myself together and managed to pass the track from start to finish. I even overcame the "path of the brave" stage - moving on a roller in the air. It was the most breathtaking experience.
You can’t even imagine, but moving along the obstacle course of ingenious combinations of ropes, logs and boards, I felt like a conqueror of heights, a rock climber and just a clever boy. In this park, I got a lot of impressions, joy, adrenaline and positive emotions. I felt energized and ready for action. For me, it was not only an excellent workout for all muscle groups, but also a way to cope with the fear of heights, develop determination and the will to win.
After an energetic time spent, I had an enviable appetite. The park provided an opportunity to enjoy delicious meals. I liked the cherry pies, orange juice and chocolate ice cream.
I returned home with a pleasant fatigue in my body, but happy. It was one of my best days!
I am looking forward to your letter. Your friend Nikita.
Essay on personal impressions in the form of a letter Grade 5
Hello mommy! I'm fine. I feel fine. The road was easy. We have already reached the camp. It's just a huge area. It's very beautiful here, I love it!
We arrived 3 days ago. Traveling by train is very interesting, I liked watching nature. Buses were waiting for us at the pyrope, which took us to the camp in 15 minutes. I was very surprised, I imagined him completely different. There is a large territory here, everything is emptied by a fence, there are such tall, tall pines all around. The smell is just amazing, you want to breathe and breathe.
In the camp, counselors were waiting for us, who immediately took us to their detachments. We were settled in small houses. I was impressed by what I saw. At home, like in American films, I thought there were no such things in Russia. Our house has two floors, and each has 4 rooms, each room has 3 beds. I checked in with Oleg Sidorov and Petya Ivanov - you saw them.
In the evening we went to dinner. It was simply indescribable. Delicious! Cutlet with puree - the taste is excellent. And there was also apple juice and Tula gingerbread.
After dinner we went to bed. That Day I was very tired and therefore fell asleep without hind legs.
The next morning started with a workout. But it was not a simple exercise, like at school, but a disco exercise, I really liked it.
After the games, we were given a plan for a month. Our first task in the camp was to come up with a name for the detachment and chants. We thought about this task for a very long time, all the options were very interesting. In the end, we decided to be "dolphins" because we live near the sea. And we also composed this song: “The dolphin always swims forward - we know that! Together we will play as a team and we have never lost!”
Now it remains for us to come up with a dance and perform tomorrow at the concert "Review of the teams of the Zvezdochka camp." I hope we all crush! We are the strength!
The camp is good! Thanks for letting me in here. I really like everything! Hope you get this letter soon! I love you very much! Your son Pashka!
Letter from Misha
Dear friend, how long have we not seen each other! I received your letter a week ago, it made me very happy. Now I have a free minute, I decided to answer you.
This summer I spend at the dacha with my parents and younger sister. We rarely go to the city. But I'm not drawn to it. The country house is very good. The weather is great, very hot. Our whole family goes to the river every day to swim and sunbathe. We spend a lot of time on the beach. In such weather, all summer residents are there. Mom bought me and my sister each an air mattress, and I also bought flippers. I can swim very fast in them. Once I even wanted to swim from one coast to another, but my father did not allow me. I will definitely do it next year.
My sister and I have one entertainment. On Wednesdays we always go fishing together. The night before, my sister always prepares food for us to take with us. And I dig worms and take fish food with me. We get up very early to go fishing. It is still damp and cool outside at this time of the day, so you have to dress warmly. Going back, we are already taking off our windbreakers.
We always go fishing to the same place. This is our favorite lake with reeds and ducks. This year there are a lot of little ducklings. We feed them with bread, which remains with us after breakfast. We take the fish that I catch to my mother. If a large fish is caught, then mom cooks it for us for lunch. And if it’s small, then it gives it to the neighbor’s cat Vaska. He is very happy with our catch.
The days are flying by. It's been a month of vacation. I'm starting to miss school and my classmates a little. It would be faster to see everyone, find out how they spent the summer.
Write to me what's new with you, how your brother Artem is doing. I'm very interested in what's going on with you.
Goodbye. See you in the autumn at roll call.
Your bear.
Short essay for grade 5
My dear friend!
I never wrote you letters, and most likely you will be surprised to receive this letter. I hope that no distance will interfere with our communication.
I'm sorry we had to part ways, but I'm happy for you. New horizons are opening before you. "Big ship - big swimming!". You should know that no matter what happens in life, you can always count on me.
Of course, I am sure that we will meet. You can always come to our city, and I will be very happy if you stay with me. I often remember our conversations. You know, I'm proud of our friendship and appreciate it. I am very glad that I have you and I want to thank you for your friendship.
Write to me. I miss you.
Your sincere friend.
A letter about one of the successfully spent evenings or days in the family (with relatives, friends) at school in a club, etc.
Option 6
Hello, Misha! I hope that you have not forgotten our promise - to tell each other in a letter about who and how they spend their time. In a week I will go to the post office again, I hope that you have not forgotten, and I will find your letter in my mailbox. Otherwise, at the beginning of autumn, someone will get hit in the neck. Yes, yes, I mean exactly you.
Getting down to business - at first everything went in the most boring way. All I did was relax, read a book a couple of times. But at some point, my cousin Yulia came to me. In general, she is older than me, but she communicates with me almost on an equal footing. In fact, of the two of us, the sister was the "starter", but I'm not complaining. On the contrary, it is very interesting with her. Once she also lived in this city, and therefore showed me a bunch of interesting places. I didn't even think we could do something like this. You knew that if you go a little deeper into the artificial "forest", then next to a fallen pine tree (where there is a large anthill) you can find a bunch of pieces of iron. We don't usually go there because the ants don't bite, but if you take mom's hairspray (after all, it's better to ask permission) and put on high boots, then everything is in order. There is even an old and abandoned car there. No idea how she got there and why no one noticed her before, but the fact remains. We even dragged some of the scrap metal to the collection point a couple of times. For a whole chocolate bar, but it doesn't matter.
And then we went to the cinema. Repeatedly. It was fun. Then we visited the library. I think they dragged me with them only out of boredom, but then I met the librarian and made a plan of what I would like to read later. In general, everything went well. After that, we somehow fed the birds and rode bicycles. Unfortunately, Julia went back, but those were fun days. I have no idea what I'll do next, but I'll think of something. I am looking forward to your letter. Your friend is Sergei.

Marina, hello! How are you, my friend, what are you doing now? Very soon we will pass the OGE, there is nothing left. We will not have time to turn around 9th grade. I still have to choose two additional exams - I can’t decide. I miss you very much. Do you remember when we walked in the park? And our favorite swing .... Now I rarely go there. Even the school has become kind of gray, all the lessons are quiet and monotonous without you.
In geometry, I completely started my studies, before, at least you pulled me up, explained to me how to solve problems. But I will definitely fix everything, I will try to close all soy bad marks, because this is my father's condition for my trip to you. I spend a lot of time in the house of culture. I attend courses German language and started dancing. I like it and time flies by. Kitten Vaska has grown up and is no longer as cute as before. The truth always sits in my arms in the evenings and hums its song. Let's go to hockey with my parents for the weekend. We are now passionate fans, it was dad who enlightened us with mom. I never thought that this is such an interesting and exciting game - so many emotions.
It seems like she told you everything about herself. How are you, Marina? I rarely wrote to me. Probably trips to the tutor and art school take all the time. What about playing the guitar, you've been wanting to master this instrument for a long time. Did everything work out or not yet? Write to me in detail about yourself. I'm interested in everything: about school, about teachers, about parents, about your bald cat (how did you get him so scary). I'm waiting for your answer, I miss you. Your friend Alina.
Almost anyone can write a letter to a friend. There is nothing difficult in this.

You can mention some common memories. That's all. You can write such a letter, for example.
Letter
Hello my dear friend Snezhana. Here I am again writing you another letter. How are you doing? What's new? What are the academic achievements? Perhaps you are also preparing for the new year? Where are you planning to celebrate the holiday? How are your parents? I will write a little about myself. I'm fine. Studying takes a lot of time, of course. Well, I try very hard to study well, because soon I will go to college. I really hope that I can enter the Faculty of Economics, as I dreamed of. Recently I began to study with a teacher from the institute and enrolled in preparatory courses.
I often remember how we rested last summer with you in the camp. It was a lot of fun, it was my first time at the camp and I am glad that I have found such a good and faithful friend like you. I often look at our photos and remember:
- how we participated in competitions;
- how they constantly made fun of the guys;
- how they swam in the warm sea;
- sunbathing on the beach.
I hope we will meet again next summer. If it doesn’t work out in the camp, then I’ll try to persuade my parents to let me go to your city for a couple of weeks. Well, or you come to me. We are now fully preparing for the new year both at home and at school. At school, we are preparing for the festive concert, decorating the classrooms and the assembly hall. At home, too, there is already a festive atmosphere, yesterday they decorated the apartment and dressed up the Christmas tree. I have already prepared gifts for everyone. My sister and I also wrote a letter to Santa Claus, she still believes in him and hopes that he will definitely bring her a gift on New Year's Eve.
All right, my dear, say hello to your parents. I wish you all a Happy New Year! I miss you very much and look forward to our summer meeting. Goodbye. Your Christina.
To begin with, dear readers, let's define the goals of our lesson. So, we must define what a personal letter is and how it differs from business letter, study its structure, and most importantly, learn how to write a letter to a friend on your own. English language using ready-made templates.
People use letters as a way to exchange information around the world. Letters can be written to friends, relatives, acquaintances or people with whom we do not know much, for example, business partners. It is from the one to whom your letter is addressed that its belonging to business or personal correspondence depends, and the form, structure and style of writing your letter depends on its affiliation. You could familiarize yourself with the rules for writing business letters in our previous article letter in English, and now we will get acquainted with the features of writing personal letters in English.
So, friendly or personal letters, as a rule, are addressed to people with whom you personally know (friends, relatives, loved ones). The language of writing such letters may have a colloquial colloquial character. For example, pronouns of the 1st and 2nd person (I, you) are very often used. It is not excluded the use of dialect words, slang words, exclamations, interjections, vernacular, modal verbs, affectionate forms, etc. In personal letters, you can freely express your opinion, that is, a subjective assessment of any situation is not prohibited. Personal letters can be highly emotional. As you can see, friendly correspondence does not have such strict stylistic restrictions as business.
As for the structure of a personal letter in English, in form it practically does not differ from a business letter, just some points can be neglected at your discretion. You can familiarize yourself with the structure of the letter in the article “Learning to write letters in English correctly”. If you have to write a personal letter to a friend in English, for example, in an exam, then of course the form of the letter cannot be neglected.
Step-by-step letter structure with template phrases
So, a personal letter to a friend in English must necessarily include 5 points according to all the rules:
The first item is the "header" of the letter, i.e. the sender's address and date. (Heading: address and date)
The address is written in the upper right corner and has the following sequence: the house number with the name of the street, the apartment number separated by a comma. The next line is the city with postal code, the next line is the country. Do not put commas or dots.
46 Riverview Park

On the next line or every other line, the date is written immediately below the address. Several spellings are possible:
May 12, 2014
May 12th, 2014
May 12, 2014
May 12th, 2014
The 2nd point is "appeal". (salutation or greeting) The appeal is written on a new line on the left. A comma is usually placed after the conversion.
Very often, the appeal begins with the word Dear + the name of the person you are writing to.
Dear Rima, Dear Karan
Dear Daddy, Dear Mammy
Dear Uncle Ray

Various options are possible. It all depends on who you are writing to.

The first paragraph of the body text is an introduction or opening sentence (opening sentence), where you can thank your friend for the previous letter, tell why you haven’t written for so long, or simply write that you were very happy to hear from your friend the news. Approximately it looks like this:

I’m writing to thank you very much for the nice post card ... - I am writing to you to thank you for the wonderful postcard ...
Many thanks for your letter… Thank you very much for your letter...

I hope this advice is of some help to you. I hope my advice will be helpful to you.
The 4th point is the final polite phrase (subscription / closing). A comma must be placed after the final phrase.
love,
best wishes,
All the best
yours,
The 5th final point is your signature. You put your signature on the next line under the final phrase without a dot.
So, as you noticed, a letter to a friend in English has the same structure as a business letter. The main difference lies in the style of the language. That is why template phrases for personal and business letters are completely different.
I want to give you a couple more tips for successfully writing a letter to a friend in English. In order for the text to be solid and sound good, use linking words and conjunctions: just now, and, at all, but, that's why, also, as for me, maybe, though, so, not only, to tell the truth, besides, now, first, also, finally, but, however, so that, such as, for example as, because, when, while, Well, Right… Use short forms of verbs: I've, there's, I'd...
If your English vocabulary is not that great, you can still easily handle a task like writing a letter to a friend in English. To do this, you will have to visually remember the structure of the letter and memorize a ready-made template, which will need to be supplemented with a couple of sentences.
You can create a template yourself using the phrases that we have selected for each item.

The football team is doing really well this season. We have reached the semi-final of the Cup. The new goalkeeper we got after you left is great. He has not let in a goal in the last three matches.
My sister, Sandra, Has just had a baby girl, so I am now an uncle. Maybe I will be able to make some money from baby-sitting and then I can come down on the train to visit you.
Write soon and let me know all the news.

The football team is really doing well this season. We have reached the semi-finals of the Cup. The new goalkeeper who joined us after you left is great. He hasn't conceded a single goal in his last three matches.
My sister, Sandra, just had a baby girl, so I'm an uncle now. Maybe I can make some money as a babysitter and come by train to visit you.
Reply to me as soon as possible and tell me all the news.

Dear Susan,
I hope all is well with you. It has been ages since we saw you here in Meath.
I am writing to ask you to come and stay with us the weekend of the 6thJune. We are having a little get together because John is going to Australia for a year. It would be lovely for him to see you before he goes, you are his godmother after all. Let me know if you can make it, don't worry if not, any weekend before then is fine.
We are all in good form here. Very busy trying to get John organized. I will miss him while he's away.
I hope all the family are well.

Dear Susan,
I hope you are doing well. It's been an eternity since we saw you here in Mita.

We are fine. Constantly busy trying to pack John for the trip. I will miss him very much when he leaves.
I really hope your family is doing well.

Hi Sophie,
I'm writing this from the cutest little café in New York! Mum's been making sure we don't miss one sight in the whole city, so we've been walking practically all day. So far we've seen Times Square, Broadway, Central Park and The Plaza. I caught a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty but we're going to go and see it properly tomorrow!
The streets are super busy here and everyone looks amazing in their winter coats and hats. I had to buy mittens today! I miss being able to feel my fingers!
Hope you're enjoying your holidays.
Miss you times a million, see you back in Adelaide on the 20th!
love,
Ashley
PS: I'm bringing you back a souvenir!

Hello Sophie,
I am writing to you now from the cutest little cafe in New York! Mom does her best to make sure we don't miss out on anything interesting in the city, so we were up and about most of the day. So far, we have already managed to see Times Square, Broadway, Central Park and the Square. I caught a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty, but we're going to explore it properly tomorrow!
The streets here are super busy and everyone looks amazing in their winter coats and hats. Today I had to buy mittens! I'm losing the ability to feel my fingers!
Hope you are enjoying your vacation.
Missing you like crazy, see you again in Adelaide on the 20th!
With love,
Ashley

Dear Sally,
How are you settling down in your new school in Cork? Our class is quite different since you left. It's much quitter for a start. All the teachers are remarking on it!
We had an English test yesterday. When Mrs. Byrne came in today with the results she was so mad there was nearly smoke coming out of her ears!
Phil Martin and Sandra Byrne have split up. Phil is really down in the dumps. But otherwise everybody is in great form. We are all going down to the club in the Sports Center on Friday night. It's a pity you won't be with us.
Write soon and tell us all about Cork. goodbye for now.

Dear Sally,
How did you settle into your new school in Cork? Our class has changed a lot since you left. A lot of people have become lazy. All teachers notice this!
Yesterday we had an English test. When Ms. Byrne came in today with the results, she was so angry that she thought she was about to have smoke coming out of her ears!
Phil Martin and Sandra Byrne split up. Phil walks now as if lowered into the water. But everything else is fine with us. We're going to the club at the Sports Center on Friday night. Too bad you won't be with us.
Write as soon as possible and tell about Cork. Well, for now.
With love,
Joe

Dear Joe,
Greetings from Cork! Now that we have settled in our new house I am having a house- warming party to celebrate.
I am inviting some of the gang from Dublin and some of my new school friends from Cork.
The fun begins at 9 pm on Saturday, March 3rd. Why not come down on Friday night and stay for the weekend? I have asked Sandra and Brian to stay over also.
The train leaves Dublin at 4.15 pm and arrives in Cork at 7.30 pm.
